“How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?” — Morpheus, The Matrix
Machines, internet, and data…
Where our paths cross with digital technologies, expectations are at their peak, and this is called the “digital twin.”
In order to take a more holistic perspective on artificial intelligence (AI) applications, let’s take a closer look at the digital twin technology, which has not only increased its popularity in the past five years but has also found application in different sectors.
What is it?
A digital twin represents the structure, context, and behavior of a unique one or group of physical objects, creatures, processes, or organizations. It is a software model that allows it to dynamically update, process, and extract insights with data from its physical twin throughout its lifecycle.
